Mr. PIIILLPOTTS in the Ch a i r . 7 Mr. Richardson, surveyor to the Necropolis Company, u cross-examined by Mr. &hms—Spri ng - p l ace very. damp. A great many houses to let a quarter of a mile from the Necro polis. From Hampstead -road to the Necropolis several streets have been laid out. Looked at Copenhagen -fields : not so eligible as the Necropolis ; would interfere with the High gate Cemetery ; St. Pancras burial-ground is raised nine feet by burials. Examined by Mr. TALBOT —Copenhagen -fields belong to the Marquis of Camden and others. The Marquis was applied to for a Necropolis ; his Lordship referred solicitor to the Dean of St. Paul's. Lord Southampton has a right to build on the Ne cropolis. Surveyed it three years ago, by direction of solicitor. Soil of Highgate better of the two. No ground less ob structed by footpaths than this. Jacob Wilson, undertaker, St. Pancras burial-ground, was the next witness. Knows the St. Pancras burial-ground, and others. Has not been in that ground for many) cars ; it was filling fast last time he saw it. Kensall-green is too far from the centre and north parts of the metropolis. Examined by Mr. Mom—Has conducted at least twenty funerals ; they were more carriage funerals than walking ones. Does not know the state of the ground at present. Does not know there arc thirteen burial grounds in St. Pancras. Mr. Parr, sexton and parish-clerk of St. Marylebone.— Plenty of roo.n in his parish for the rich, not fur the poor : 3,000 burials annually. The ground for the poor will be full in two years, that of the rich in ten years, Adjourned till to-morrow, at twelve o'clock.

It authorizes the Company to construct the bridge and ap proaches, and it prohibits the use of the ferry within one mile of the bridge, under a penalty of 5/. The bridge is declared to be a public bridge, and is not to be deemed a county bridge, so as to subject the counties of Berks or Bucks to repair the bridge, or the approaches to it. The bridge is to be completed in four years, or the powers to cease. The capital of the Compar.y is to be 5,0001., to be raised in shares of 25/. The Company is empowered to borrow 3,333/. 13s. 4(1. on mortgage of the tolls. PRIVATE BUSINESS OF PARLIA- hIENT.-(YESTERDAY.) SUB-COMMITTRE ON PRIVATE BILLS, No. IV. Mr. GitlißS in the Chair.

Estimated expence, 18,9001. Deposit in Bank of England, 1,6001., unopposed. Standing Orders complied with. Pembroke Ferry—This was a case in which the parties for the Bill contended that the Standing Orders did not apply on the ground that no further change was intended them to hav e a steam b oat i nstead of a common boat, the ferry being a grant from the Crown. The Chairman dis covered that it was intended to increase tolls, and if it did nut come under class No. 2, it came under the 3d general standing order, page 15. C omm i ttee concurre d i n th i s view ; one of the notices in December, instead of the whole being previous to that month. Another point arose on its being confessed that there was no subscription contract under the 1 ith standing order, page 19; which as there could be no estimate, as there was no land to be taken, but only a steam boat to be built ; the ferry belonging to Sir John Owen, who was a petitioner for the Bill. Special evidence put in that ferry was impassable during the late severe weather, and that there was not time to give the notice. Unopposed. Special report.

The ground of opposition was, that the Bill went to lower the tolls, without the consent of the creditors, in the face of a clause in the former Act. A discussion arose here between the Chairman of the Com mittee and the Agent for the Bill, as to an alleged defect in the notices. It was ultimately decided that the Standing Orders had not been complied with, the agent for the Bill having sup po,...d that no notices were requisite for the amended Bill.

EXTENSIVE JEWEL ROBBERY AT Lo CHARLEMON T's.•—• Another of those singular robberies, termed among the police " put up," that is, a robbery deliberatl planned, and put i n t o execut i on at a favourable moment, too place on Saturday night last, at the residence of Lord Charle- ., mont, No. 49, L ower G rosvenor-street. Lady Charlemon t was in attendance on her Majesty on Saturday, and did not reach her residence until about twelve o'clock at night. The first suspicion was created on the discovery being made that a gold watch, which ustrilly stood in the dressing-room of Lady Elizabeth Clement was gone. The servants were ques tioned, and one of them declared that at a quarter past seven o'clock that evening the watch was in its usu4l place. Lady Charlemont, on proceeding to her dressing-room, found the drawers in it open and ransacked. It was soon ascertained. that property, consisting principally of jewellery, and upwards of 2,0001. in value, had been taken away. Information was instantly conveyed to the station-house, and Inspector !kitting, of the C division, a very experienced unstable, proceeded to her Ladyship's residence. Inspector Haining, after making an inspection of the place, became satisfied that the thief was a person apparently well acquainted with the premises, and where the valuable property was kept, and also that access to the house had been effected through the attic rooms. It being too dark to pursue the investigation nt that hour, the Inspector went away, but returned at daylight anti then proceeded with the search. Notwithstanding a shower of rain had fallen, which had partially obliterated the foot steps, sufficient traces were left to place beyond doubt the fact of the thief having entered the house from the top. The In spector succeeded in tracing the marks to an empty house at the corner of Davies -street, and five doors from Lord Charle mont's residence. That the thief or thieves bad been in the empty house was certain, not only from foot-marks, but from ft broken window. A description of the missing property was furnished to the police. It consists of a diamond necklace, valued at sixteen hundred guineas ; four gold snuff-boxes, two containing the freedoms of Irish cities presented to Lord. Charlemont; gold watches, diamond rings, gold chains, anti a quantity of Irish diamonds. Lord Charlemont is at present in Dublin, as also is Lady Clement. Information of the rob bery was forwarded to both, as it is feared that the loss is not confined to Lady Charlcmont's property, for in Lady Clement's dressing-room the drawers bad been forced open and ransacked also. Inspector Raining has been unremitting in his exertions to trace the thieves, but up to the present time ho has not been able to gain any satisfactory clue to them. APPREHENSION OF A NOTORIOUS THIEF.— DISCOVERY OP STOLES PROPIIRTY.—On Saturday afternoon last, whilst a waggon belonging to Messrs. Daniel Deacon and Sons, the tea-dealers of Cripple-gate, was proceeding along. Oxford-street, heavily laden with chests of tea, a fellow was observed to go behind and carry off one of the chests, with which he hastened away through Hanway-street. Ile was pursued, and given into the custody of a policeman, when ho dropped the property, and tried to make his escape, but ho was aprrebended and taken to St. Giles's station-h, we, where be gave his name Julian Summervill. Yesterday morning he was taken before the Magistrates at Hatton-Garden, where he gave the same name, but he was recognized by Sergeant Ash ton, No. 11 G, as being Julian Randall, a notorious thief and fence, who, about twelve months ago, resided on the 'Wood bridge estate, Clerkenwell, and made his escape from justice whilst the officers were in pursuit of him. It appeared that the prisoner carried on an extensive system of plunder, and went about robbing carts and waggons, and had been long suspected by the police. About twelve months ago he was observed near Blackfriar's Road with a truck, by a butcher, who saw him take some pro perty, consisting of linen, from a cart. Tho butcher watched him to his house on the Woodbridge estate, into which he carried the property, and he gave information to the police, a strong body of whom proceeded thither on a search warrant, when they forced their way in ; but the prisoner, being alarmed, made his escape over the roofs of the houses, and has ever since been missing. His wife was taken into custody ; and, on searching the house, it was crammed to ex cess with stolen property, consisting of furniture, linen, wear ing apparel, watches, jewellery, and other property to a consi derable amount, the produce of robberies that had been com mitted, and owners were traced for it. The wife, after being detained during several examinations, was discharged ; but Sergeant Ashton, having received a clue that the prisoner had gone to Liverpool, was deputed to go in pursuit of him, and he traced him to various parts of the country, which he had passed through in the disguise of a Polish Jew, wearing rings in his ears, and that several depredations had been committed in his route. Thu prisoner, however, eluded his vigilance, cud he ( Ashton) returned to London without the fugitive, and ho was rather astonished at accidentally coming in contact Sidi him in the office. The prisoner is it determined-looking man, with a dark visage, and wore a Polish cap, with a brown frock-coat. Ile was identified, and said nothing in his de fence. He was remanded. Yesterday morning, between five and six o'clock, R ti two bargemen were drifting with their craft through the second arch of Waterloo-bridge, on the Aliddlesex side, ti,ey observed a female standing on the top of the balustrades of one of the piers, and who was,evidently about to throw herself into the water. The bargemen shouted to her to desist, but in an in stant she precipitated herself head-foremost into the stream. On rising to the surface, and floating for some distance, the bargemen succeeded in getting her on board their craft, and conveyed her ashore. She was in a state of insensibility, awl was taken by the police to the station-house in Bow -street, Covent-garden, where medical aid was quickly procured, and she was eventually resuscitated. She was very respectably dressed in black ; but refused to give any further account of herself than that she resided at 'Pulse-hill, and hail left home at seven o'clock on Sunday evening. She is supposed to be insane, and was detained in custody.
